The Netherlands is a source, destination and transit country for children subjected to trafficking for sexual purposes..The Netherlands is among the top five countries of citizenship of identified trafficked persons within the European Union (EU). Trafficking for sexual exploitation continues to be the most prevalent type of exploitation in the Netherlands. Vulnerable populations include among others unaccompanied children seeking asylum and Dutch girls.
Dutch citizens are reportedly engaging in sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism.
The Netherlands was the first EU country in terms of dissemination of child sexual abuse and exploitation materials between 2012 and 2014 as it was hosting the largest number of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) suspected of commercial distribution of such materials.
